Haikus I wrote...


A haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. It consists of 3 lines with 17 syllables, like 5/7/5. They can be written on any topic, but are typically about nature. 

The Sun

The sun is a cat
Lying on its large blue bed
With bright orange fur

Snowflake

Snowflake made of ice
Crystal floating slowly down
In the cold winter

Clouds
Cotton hovering
In a vast, pale blue expanse
Like soft, white velvet
Night
Sheet of black velvet
White stars sparkle like diamonds
That is the night scene
  
Chocolate
The taste of cocoa
And milk, irresistible
Melting in my mouth

Trees
Lush green foliage
Small birds flying branch to branch
The sweet smell of wood

Bird
Tiny brown sparrow
Flying freely through the air
Flapping its small wings
